u2270b
Hi I'm doing a project that involves RFIDs and have chosen the Atmel U2270B as the base station IC. Anyway, the problem I have is that no matter how carefully (temperture, time, etc) I hand-soldered it to a SOIC-DIP socket (i'm prototyping on a protoboard), the chip gets fried. I've destroyed two this way already. And I determined that they're fried because the pin 1 (GND) is only ~600-700 Ohms to Output/Coil1/Coil2/and several other pins.
Can someone who has used this chip let me know how I can connect it to a protoboard without baking-type soldering, ie. somehow hand-solder or wirewrap or something?
[edit - or perhaps some kind of SOIC-DIP test socket that's not >$50]
As a side question, I ordered read-only transponders from Digikey but there's no info on what bitstream i should be expecting.
Thanks!
